Now, let's see how it's done in the modern editions of the openSUSE distribution. The entire process is managed through YaST software management. There's no need to manually compile anything. And you get updates for the driver alongside other software, which is a big bonus toward a seamless and uninterrupted desktop experience.

What you need to do is enable the Nvidia software repository, the one less trivial detail in the configuration. So let us begin. Open Yast > Software.



Click on Software Repositories. This will display your current repositories, including their priority, status, name, URL, and more. What we want now is to add a new source. Therefore, click on Add in the left bottom corner.



This will display a long list of available repository types. Choose Community Repositories.



In the list, select Nvidia repository and click OK.



The list of repositories will be now refreshed to include the new source. Now, go back to Yast > Software > Software Management. In the search window, type Nvidia. You will get a handful of entries, including the latest drivers, the legacy drivers, support utilities, and more. In my case, I chose the Nvidia 270.41 driver, which was the latest version available at that time. Install, restart the X environment, or reboot if you will.





Basically, we're done. Fire up the Nvidia control panel to make sure it all works.



Conclusion

There you go. Simple, isn't it? The only two things you really need to pay attention to is the addition of the Nvidia community repository and the installation of the correct driver version. Once the driver is properly installed, you will receive future updates, so you only need to do this process once.

Well, I hope you liked it. Have fun!

Cheers.
